Part 2/9:
EA’s latest stunt involved the introduction of full-screen commercials during in-game replay moments in UFC 4. This move was especially egregious because it occurred a month after the game's release, meaning players had already purchased and experienced the game without ads. EA’s rationale was that ad placements—previously limited to main menu tiles and the octagon logo—were expanded into the gameplay replay overlays, ruining the immersive experience for fans.
